NARRATOR:"Well. It’s a room anyway Joe. Better than a tent. But there’s the minor complication of the rent.Take inventory son: Assets: noneLiabilities: noneProspects: noneWell, that’s the list. Wait! There's one asset you missed – The paternal watch that ticks away your life minute by minute."

Joe gets out an old-fashioned watch and looks sadly at the photograph of a girl in the fob

NARRATOR:"Look! There’s a liability in it – The dream girl. She resigned from the dream – why not? She wasn’t so dumb –You are a self appointed bum.Hey look here! Are you shedding an old fashioned tear?You don’t cry nowadays. You live or die nowadays. Things could be be tougher – And after all, an artist has to suffer.I guess it must be a grain of Italian dust left over from your last campaignOr put it down to eyestrain."

Joe takes a mirror down from the wall and looks at his reflection

NARRATOR:"Look at yourself - you’re all mixed upSnap out of it. Get yourself fixed upEven if poets misbehave, They always remember to shave."

Joe suddenly sees the image of the girl within the reflection of his eye’s pupil

No! It’s terrific! Here’s something on which you can really pride yourselfYou’ve discovered that you can look inside yourselfYou know what that means? - You’re promotedYou’re no longer a bum. You’re an artist!Remember a poem you once read?“The eye is a camera” it saidSuppose like a film it could retainThe images that glide so secretly through your brainHave you ever tried to see the shadow world inside photographed by the retina and held suspended in its memories?

This is one of the more unusual talents – and it’s yours it seemsMaybe this could revive your bank balance. Remember, everybody dreams Joe , if you can look inside yourself, you can look inside anyoneCustomers? There are so many, one can’t count themWhat’s the population of the world?Almost two billion. A potential of two billion customersAll with a dream to untangleYou’ve figured out a new angleGet it? Dreams on the instalment plan!You’ll be in the money man!It’s a miracle – just as you were a complete bustRe-adjust!Wait ‘til you’re in the chipsThen watch the dream girl warm up those chilly lips!Get on the phoneMake a small financial loanConvert this tomb into a consultation roomAnd go into business on your own!"

STEPHEN:"It's finally done. Phew!"

Check out the podcast "Dreams That Money Can Buy for a listen or click on 'Wanna Buy a Dream?....'

click on the 'i can sell you a dream' if you want to buy it now. otherwise it will be sold through the real tuesday weld website - with a discount and signed if people want that - in the next couple of weeks...

i placed a link to your blog spot on my blog (the one titled grey matters), i hope you find that copasetic. i was not sure what the blog etiquette was on that and i would hate to offend. i also included a link in a post where i praise your talents...so you gots that going for you. (yea...sure that made your whole freaking day.)

Ooh, that is a bit expensive. Would love to see some Real Tuesday Weld live action again, but will probably pass on it. Hope the studio work goes well, am very eager for a new TRTW album. Is your Brazil cover still not going to see the light of day (other than video form)?

i WAS going to offer to help you escape from the studio...like maybe by pointing at something and screaming "SWEET JESUS!! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?!?"...giving you a chance to make a run for it. BUT..then i remembered that i WANT you in the studio making lovely new things and changed my mind. sorry.

we're really trying to get that to happen - i'm just working on a track for a covers album at the moment - the choice would be between 'Brazil', 'The day before you came' by ABBA or 'I'll see you in my dreams'....

the new record is approaching completion

we will be sneaking things out regulary through the myspace site - remixes and unreleased tracks in the meantime

you know i'm always here for you. well..by here i mean in another country..but still...i'm here for ya man. i gots yer back...so to speak.thank you for feeding my tuesday weld monkey through myspace. i will keep my sharpest eye out for new tunes. is the new album the les chansons anglaise you teased us with?

Ta for the reply, for some reason my next response never appeared. Anyway, I hope that Brazil is the one picked, just cuz it's pretty darn great. & Arcade Fire have done a cool cover of it, and I hear that Beirut are covering it live, which just adds to its greatness. Must hear the original sometime.I have a copy of your Abba cover you stuck up on your website many moons ago, but not heard that third cover. Hope the other bands on the compilation are good too.

i'm recording two albums and 'les chansons anglais' is one of them. i think we will making that one available through the website only in the new year - or just giving it away for absolutley free - go ahead 'download my ass' as a friend of mine sad....

Nope, wasn't me, that was some chap to our left somewhere. But you did write me a story (amongst my other stories on my blog thing) at the Whitechapel gallery gig, which is prize enough- which was the first time we saw you, and another free gig too. & the Tracy leaving show as well, that's three free gigs we've been to. You need to have more gigs where you take money from us (especially with this free album talk)! Although two new albums is pretty exciting.
